Why this time?

Light: DuskMany sea fish feed hardest at dawn, dusk and after dark, when they're bolder close in.
Tide size: Mid tidesBigger spring tides move more water, stirring up food and colouring the water. Some fish prefer quieter neaps.

Sea: Flat calm (0.3 m waves)Not fussy about sea state unless it gets rough.
